Direcciones
- In a heavy bottomed pot (not aluminum) with a tight fitting lid, heat extra virgin olive oil, add in onion and green pepper, saute/fry over medium heat till onion turns clear.
- (Note: be sure to stir frequently so which onion does not brown). Add in oregano and garlic, saute/fry for 1 minute more then add in remaining ingredients, except lime.
- Bring to a boil for 1 minute. Reduce heat to very low, cover and let simmer 1 hour. During the last 5 min uncover, add in lime juice, bring up heat to high, stirring constantly reduce liquid till sauce begins to thicken. Remove excess fat with a spoon while reducing liquid. Serve over with rice or possibly mashed potatoes.
- Serves 4-5
- Note: We use a big wooden mortar and pestle to mash the garlic. If you don't have one available, and lightly salt your cutting board, place garlic on it, then take a pot and press down hard while twisting the pot in a grinding motion.
- Works great!
- Bijol is a natural food coloring and gives a wonderful color to this dish. If not available you can use 8 to 10 saffron strings.
